He worked for Amazon during the height of the pandemic, managed global accounts at\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0and held a steady trajectory in the corporate world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of\u00a0work, he\u00a0was also raising\u00a0two young sons and had recently been appointed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/mukilteowa.gov\/directory.aspx?eid=57\">Mukilteo City Council<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By every metric of traditional success,\u00a0Moon\u00a0was exactly where he was supposed to be.\u00a0But something\u00a0wasn&#8217;t\u00a0sitting right.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was comfortable,\u201d&nbsp;he&nbsp;said.&nbsp;\u201cMaybe too&nbsp;comfortable. I had&nbsp;a good job, good&nbsp;benefits&nbsp;and stability. But I knew there were parts of me I&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;using. The MBA helped me realize how much potential I had set aside.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-highlight-paragraph-large has-purple-400-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c379606f5eb16b8e04e8727668d09708\">Stepping outside the\u00a0lines\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moon grew up in the&nbsp;Puget Sound&nbsp;region, spending his childhood outdoors with his parents and grandparents. Hiking, fishing,&nbsp;foraging&nbsp;and exploring the natural environment were a defining part of his identity.&nbsp;And&nbsp;like many first-generation and Asian American students, he grew up with a familiar formula for success: study hard, find stability and stay the course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/IMG_3878_Original.jpeg\" alt=\"Jason Moon and his father holding up a fish while fishing on the banks of the Columbia River in Eastern Washington.\" class=\"wp-image-20206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/IMG_3878_Original.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/IMG_3878_Original-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/IMG_3878_Original-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/IMG_3878_Original-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat mindset isn\u2019t bad,&#8221; he said,&nbsp;\u201cbut it can limit people. We get so focused on staying in one lane that we forget&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;allowed to build something different.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moon entered the MBA program expecting it&nbsp;could help him climb the ranks at Microsoft.&nbsp;What he found was&nbsp;a cohort of&nbsp;fellow students&nbsp;and&nbsp;a number of&nbsp;mentors who encouraged him to look beyond the narrow version of success he had inherited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through classes like sustainable business, leadership and social responsibility, creativity and innovation management, and global economics, he began to see new ways to connect his values,&nbsp;interests&nbsp;and professional strengths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flexible structure of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/business\/graduate\/master-of-business-administration\/mba-curriculum\">UW Bothell\u2019s School of Business MBA\u00a0program<\/a>\u00a0also\u00a0made it\u00a0possible for him to learn even as\u00a0a full-time professional\u00a0and parent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-highlight-paragraph-large has-purple-400-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9f57fda84e1dd27043efb81406a57add\">Learning from experts\u00a0and peers\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moon points to several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/business\/faculty\">faculty members<\/a> who helped broaden his perspective, especially Dr. Brandon Fleming, whose sustainable business course introduced him to the idea that sustainability is as much about people and systems as it is about the environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also took classes from instructors who were&nbsp;active&nbsp;founders, board&nbsp;members&nbsp;and angel investors, which made the world of startups and entrepreneurship feel accessible rather than abstract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey weren\u2019t just teaching theory,\u201d&nbsp;Moon said.&nbsp;\u201cThey were showing us what it looks like in practice.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was the cohort \u2014 the late-night group work, the shared struggles, the conversations after class \u2014 that made the deepest&nbsp;personal&nbsp;impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re meeting with your cohort five times a week,\u201d&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;\u201cThey get to know you. They see talents you&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;see in yourself.

His service on the Mukilteo Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission led to his appointment to the city council, where he now serves as vice president.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything was happening at once,\u201d&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;\u201cI was serving on the council, raising a family, taking MBA&nbsp;classes&nbsp;and getting involved in new projects. It sounds like too much, but for the first time, it all felt aligned.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MBA gave him a new definition of success \u2014 one that&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;tied to title or salary but&nbsp;instead&nbsp;to impact,&nbsp;autonomy&nbsp;and connection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s&nbsp;what the program unlocked. You&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;have to follow one formula. You can create your own,\u201d&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;\u201cFor me, success is about spending time with my family, serving my community and doing work that matters. The MBA showed me I had the ability to design that life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-20212 size-large\" alt=\"Jason Moon speaking from a podium during UW Bothell's graduate hooding ceremony.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2-1024x768.jpg\" style=\"object-position:26% 13%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"26% 13%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/12\/230608A_121_w_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-black-background-color has-background-dim-60 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-large-font-size\"><blockquote><p>\u201cFor me, success is about spending time with my family, serving my community and doing work that matters.
